Is there a “best“ army or Nod and or GDI?

Pretty new at this and it’s pretty fun so far.  I really wish I could find a single player command and conquer for iPad.   Also seems like I’m constantly being put up against guys who’s base is at l...

    There is no „best“ deck in this game. Every deck has it‘s weaknesses. All you can get is a  „strong“ deck. 

    For Nod a really often used deck is: Jade, militants, lasersquad, chem warrior, attackbikes, laserdrones, phantom.

    This is a deck that is very common right now in the highest league. But since you are new I guess you are in the lower leagues for now. So for the beginning just play what you want and try stuff out. Repeat strategies that work and discard strategies that don‘t work. Try to make a deck that has answers against all unit types: infantry, vehicle and air. 

    If you need an alliance you can join ours, there you can ask any question you want. Name: ChronoCommandos.

    And btw, there is no single player C&C for iPad. You can get the ultimate C&C collection in the Origin store for like 15€, which includes all the other previous C&C games (PC only). And right now the original C&C is being remastered, so stay tuned for that.

The only weakness to my deck that I have encountered are confessors. Usually what I do is send a tank to the pad they occupy and spam infantry and banshees at them. When people spam them I sometimes run into trouble. 

Um banshees? Ain't that venom's... normally you need two venom's with a tank to distract the confessor. You could also ditch the militant and replace it with flame troopers, start the match with a laser squad scout and proceed with vehicle and air units.

Militants are cheap and faster and I can occupy the pads quickly with them. . I need them for scarabs immediately when the game starts and for  other infantry. I already have flames with Seth and use those for zones and cyborgs in conjunction with militants and venoms if they are already out on the map at the same time.

    Well, if your having trouble with scarabs, I have all sorts of strategies against them. I could use a laser squad and flame trooper combo and sacrifice the laser squad while the flame trooper attacks unopposed. A venom going diagonally will also work. Its worth a try switching the militants for flame trooper. I have a very similar deck except the militants are replaced with flame troopers, the scorpion for the tick tank and the attack bike for the buggy. I don't use it as often compared to my other aggro decks.

    The best deck I've used was laser squad, flame trooper, mutant marauder, cyber-wheel, buggy and tick tank. A few seasons after I used that deck, I switched the cyber-wheel and buggy for stealth tank and chem buggy. I switched it since I lack firepower.

      No trouble with Scarabs. Militants kill them easily and cheaply for 10 Tiberium. Flames are too expensive at 40 Tiberium. I can spam out Militants with no harvester if need be. They do the same as flames against infantry just slightly slower. 

      Don’t like the Tick Tank. It isn’t a good micro unit in my opinion . They have no armor when moving unless burrowed so they are essentially park and forget units. I like to move things around. I can chase wolverines and widowmakers that run away from the Scorpion tank.

        Have you tried using the tick tank to harass harvesters? Most players can't handle it especially if there's a flame trooper nearby. I understand the scorpion's mobility, but the tick tank is meant for holding pads and preventing them from falling into the wrong hands. A tick tank with a flame trooper can survive against a zone trooper compared to that of a scorpion.

        And I don't get it why they added 2 MBT for Nod and only one for GDI. That MBT for GDI is quite slow, to the point that you've rather have escorts to help it.
